Canucks have just finished a 15 game road trip. They are exhausted. First home game following any trip is usually a let up, but after a marathon like that, they *should* be easy pickings.

That said, of course the standard disclaimer is "I trust the Sens players and coaching staff are not thinking this."

500 on a Western Road trip would be good and something I would be happy with, if they could get 4 out of 6 points, that's as solid as it gets.

Elliott starts, of course.

Or we could go 6/6 because the Habs nearly did a 8/8?

Meh, Habs are playing desperate hockey and once they force Price in nets again they will, well, everyone knows what happens when Price plays.

They should start Leclaire tonight to give him some playing time. Calgary has a weak offense, so I think Leclaire should go tonight and Elliot on Saturday against the high-powered offense of the Canucks.

When Price plays he gets no help offensively, his record is very skewed.

Price has lost the job, I think it's nearly official. Habs are playing without Cammaleri and there is no reason why we shouldn't play desperate hockey too.

That and weak goals galour. I garentee, if Elliott played like Price not only would you and a lot of other people be calling for his head, I would bet a surprisingly large amount of cash you would want him burried in The AHL for Brodure, or Holt, or somehow questiong why Lehner isnt here. Im not calling you out or anything but that's exactly what would happen with A TON of people.

As for Calgary having a weak offense, right now Iginla/Stajun/Borque is the hottest line in the league, also they want to build momentum going on a winning streak, you go with your number 1, especially since his last 2 game he has been as solid as can be, This is a clear indication Elliott is the number 1, same as it was last game.

Dude, his numbers aren't that much different than Elliott's. The wins aren't there because his team never seems to show up when he's in nets, but his SV% is better than Elliott's and his GAA is about .30 more than Elliott's. If Price was on Ottawa he would definately have more wins and his numbers would probably bet equal if not better than Elliott's current stats. Price just gets flack because of his draft spot, but it's hard to expect a ton from a guy who is only 22 years old.

elliott is our number one, I know it's hard to swallow paying Leclaire 3.8 million but in the end you play who you have the confidence in, not who has the largest paycheque.

How awesome would it be to trade Leclaire and Kuba in the off season-3.8+3.7=7.3 million to spend on keeping Volchenkov and Sutton.

It wouldn't matter who the goaltender was, with volch and sutton blocking shots our goalie would probably only need to make 15 saves a night.

Karlsson-Sutton is a sick d-pairing.

How would an average goalie do behind that defence

That's all that matters man. You think if it comes down to the playoffs and a guy has great numbers and not the wins people give a damn? Numbers wise, Lalime is the best goaltender of all time in the playoffs, now that sir, is an absolute fact.

Good goaltenders are judged on their ability to win games, doesnt matter how. Shutout, blowout, tight checking, or a scoring parade. Doesnt matter, wins, wins, wins.

As for Price, does his team not play as well in front of him then it does for Halak, maybe, maybe not. You want to use that arguement though then it's tough to bash Gerber when he was the best player on the ice for the majority of 2007/08 and on a few nights early last year. Fact of the matter is the weak one went in when it matter no matter how well he played, there is no stat for that.

Long story short, I dont care if Elliott wins every game 8-7 or 1-0, 2 pts is 2 pts, 16 W's is a stanley cup. If you can tell me what Roy's save % or GAA was in his cup runs off the top of your head, go for it, off the top of mine, he's won 16 games in 4 different playoffs and has 3 Conn Smyth's to back it up.

Yup, so different and work so well together thus far. I wouldnt change that when Kuba gets back.

Playoffs

21 W
20 L
926 save %
1.77 GAA

Not only is that more then respectable, that's as good as it gets in terms of individual numbers for a goaltender. Any guesses who that is?

Best goalie we've had up to this point: Patty Lalime!!!! GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ Calgary Flames - 9:30PM EST, Thursday, March 11, 2010 - Page 3 16982

Exxxxxactly, the only numbers that matter when it comes to goaltending are W's and L's. Doesnt matter how you get the job done, as long as you get it done.

What was wrong with Patty Lalime? There's no way he could have come back after that series against the Leafs, but he was absolutly a stellar goaltender who stole many playoff games for us
